When it comes to Xbox results, Microsoft is usually very stingy with details. The EU Digital Services Act forces the firm to loosen its tongue and give figures. And in Europe, they are low.
We can read that on the video game side, Microsoft estimates that it has an average of 4 to 6 million users of its online game store, depending on whether they access it from an Xbox console or the website. Let's keep in mind that the Xbox is a platform where buying games online is highly favored by gamers. The Xbox Game Pass is also not available in all countries of the European Union.

PC Games Store

Approximately 3 million

Console Store

Approximately 4 million

So are we to believe like 1/3 of the U.S. population are Xbox MAUs, or…

wow this is truly pathetic. No wonder they need to fork over 70billion. That can buy a lot of plugs for their sinking ship!

Good grief. You’d think we’d have threads where this could be posted in. 😂

EU specific information… Posted on the Microsoft website… Only provided because the DSA requires it… What’s the problem?

This pic is starting to represent you more than anyone else at this point. The more numbers we get, the crazier the shit Phil and Co. has said appears to be. These numbers represent 17 countries… Even being generous and doubling the number to represent the rest of Europe and Asia leaves like 112 million MAUs missing from Xbox’s total… Again, that’s like 1/3 of the US population… Explain how they get to that number…

This is the data Microsoft provide to EU regulating body regarding the average monthly MAU. Interesting that Xbox does it I wonder if Sony also provided this I never knew this.

Surprised the Xbox PC app store getting lots of engagement (33m) but its probably mainly due to minecraft. I guess that xbox120m MAU really dont mean much when 50% users open the xbox app for free 2 play title.

2013 has damaged the brand so much that there's no way to recover.

Definitely reminds me of another Golden (poster). An alt of the same guy that made the Netflix can beat Gamepass threads?

Lets test this out. TC, if Netflix gets into gaming, Xbox is finished aren't they?

On topic, if this "bad news" is accurate, wouldn't that be in MSs favour for the Activision deal? I mean, you can't be a monopoly if you're no where near the ability to monopolise, Activision or no Activision.

TC has had a nightmare here like 🤣

But that's nothing compared to the obsession over a game streaming service on an entertainment system

This place…

I post information from a Microsoft site, that shows a low MAU number for a large region, and Lems hur dur themselves into a tizzy, claiming some kind of victory…

But what do we expect. When numbers, metics and stats can’t be used to rank the performance of the big 3, this is the kind of shit that happens. 2013 forever changed the System Wars landscape, and did permanent damage to the hearts and souls of Lems.

Well, sales is one of the biggest games on PlayStation, so I think they expect everyone to care as much.

Good luck with the EU classifying Microsoft Xbox as a monopoly with those numbers. Might as well classify Dr Pepper as a monopoly on soft drinks if you are going to treat Xbox as a monopoly.

The Activision buyout will be approved without much effort.
